Atherton Wins Again

8 / 12

If it weren’t for the remarkable season Aaron Gwin is having, Rachel Atherton would be receiving more attention. With a victory in Windham, she’s taken two in a row and three of the last four—though this most recent win wasn’t without controversy. Atherton slid off the track near the finish, blowing through the course tape before re-entering the track. UCI officials ruled that the detour didn’t give her an advantage, and the time held. When all was said and done, Atherton edged Tracy Hanna by just .26 seconds, and took over the World Cup leader's jersey from a dismayed Emmeline Ragot.
